Penn State football sanctions lifted By CHRIS MORELLI

editor@centrecountygazette.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — The roar has been restored. Just 26 months after the NCAA penalized the Penn State football program with crippling sanctions, the organization did an about-face on Sept. 8, rescinding nearly all of its remaining punishment. Endorsing the recommendations made in the latest progress report by former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, the NCAA has immediately restored Penn State’s postseason eligibility and restored its scholarships to a full 85 beginning in 2015-16. “We are very appreciative of the opportunities the NCAA and Big Ten have provided with today’s announcement,” first-year Penn State head football coach James Franklin said in a statement. “This team plays for each other. We play for Penn State, our families, the former players, our students, alumni, fans and the community.” The Nittany Lions received a four-year postseason ban in 2012 as part of unprecedented and

wide-ranging NCAA sanctions against the program for its role in the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Some of the sanctions were reduced last September — following another positive Mitchell report — including gradual restoration of scholarships. Penn State, which is 2-0 under Franklin, entered the season with just 72 scholarship players on the roster. “Penn State’s commitment to the integrity of its athletics department and its progress toward meeting the requirements of the Consent Decree are clear,” said Northern Arizona President Rita Hartung Cheng in a statement released by the NCAA. “We thank Sen. Mitchell for his meticulous and exhaustive work over the past two years. Mitchell’s efforts and the dedication of Penn State officials made today’s decisions possible.” Sanctions, Page 4

STATE COLLEGE — As recently as 10 years ago, discovering family history and genealogy was limited to word of mouth and microfilms. Advances in technology, however, now puts the tools to discover ancestry in the hands of the public almost instantly. User-friendly websites such as FamilySearch.org, which is made possible through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Ancestry.com are becoming popular attractions. “I think people are getting turned onto (genealogy) and finding that it’s fun and it’s accessible,” said Nathaniel Cannon, a consultant at the State College Family History Center on Whitehall Road. “The new school is kind of taking over. It’s not hard anymore. Nowadays, so much work is focused on digitizing everything.” “I would say in the past 10 years, there has been a resur-

Police: No problems with student celebration By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

Join the fun today at www.girlscouts.org/join. Questions? Call 800.692.7816.

STATE COLLEGE — The State College Police Department says Penn State students’ celebration in the streets Monday night was mostly orderly and caused minimal damage. Students were celebrating the NCAA’s decision to lift the bowl ban for Penn State’s football program, effective immediately. Students started gathering on campus outside of Old Main before heading over the Beaver Stadium and then congregating on Beaver Avenue in downtown State College. Thousands participated in the informal celebration that started about 9 p.m. and ended around 1 a.m.

State College police Capt. Matt Wilson says the crowd dispersed on its own after rejoicing responsibly. “It was not an alcohol-fueled event. It was a celebration,” said Wilson. “They were excited and rightfully so. Everyone was on pretty good behavior.” During the gathering, Wilson says minimal damage occurred, including some construction signs knocked over with one or two other signs now missing. Police arrested two males who scaled light poles. One of those males was also cited with underage drinking. Wilson says between 10 and 20 police officers were on the scene. He says the event did not impact police response to other calls in the borough. Penn State University and Ferguson Township police assisted the borough.

Program helps female business owners grow companies By BRITTANY SVOBODA bsvoboda@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Female business owners in Centre or Clearfield counties who want to take their businesses to the next level are encouraged to apply for a new yearlong program. AthenaPowerLink is designed to increase growth and profitability of a business with the help of a board of advisers who will provide financial, business practice, network and other necessary advice. The program is brought to the two counties for the first time this year by Seton Hill University E-Magnify, an organization dedicated to supporting the development of businesses owned by women. At the end of the program, participants nationwide have seen an average of an 88 percent increase in sales, a 37 percent increase in business income, a 56 percent increase in personal income, a 36 percent increase in full-time employees and a 75 percent increase in part-time employees, according to Athena International. Female business owners who meet the following criteria are encouraged to apply: the business must be at least 51 percent owned and actively managed by a woman;

be in operation at least two years; have at least two full-time employees, which can include the owner; have annual revenues of at least $250,000 for retail or manufacturing businesses and $100,000 for service businesses; and have clearly defined objectives and goals, with specific reasons for why they are seeking assistance through the program. The program began 22 years ago in Pittsburgh, according to Jayne Huston, E-Magnify director. “It was started by volunteers who identified that women business owners need help in growing their companies.” These volunteers collaborated, she said, to provide the owners guidance on issues to make their businesses more successful. About 14 years later, PowerLink volunteers knew that they could not alone continue to run the program if they wanted it to grow to the national level, Huston said. Soon after, it was incorporated by Athena International, a nonprofit organization that helps support, develop and honor women leaders. Today, the program has been successfully implemented in 30 cities throughout the United States. Athena provides licenses for cities to implement the program in their regions, like Centre and Clearfield

counties who are currently operating under the same license. This was sponsored by PNC Bank and Babst Calland Attorneys at Law. “PNC has been partnering with E-Magnify for 22 years,” Huston said, fundamentally by identifying community needs and growing companies. The program, she said, cannot be facilitated without people in a community who identify a need to help women business owners grow their companies. The region’s governing board will begin by selecting one company from either Centre or Clearfield county, said Chad Feather, a PNC wealth management banking adviser and certified women’s business advocate. The board includes: Feather; Amy Marshall, Babst Calland; Heather Fennessey, Penn State Small Business Development Center; Sue Greene, Penn State Corporate Learning; Tere Rill, The Women’s Journal; John Vidmar, Ben Franklin; Mary Kay Williams, Mind Shift Consulting; and Georgia Abby, Leadership Centre County. “I felt the need for Athena in Centre County” due to the commitment that PNC has to women business owners to help them reach their goals, Feather said.

If all goes well with the business chosen for this year, another could be selected to begin the program in as soon as six months if the governing board sees fit, Huston said. “This is not a startup program,” Huston said, emphasizing that only business owners who are seriously interested in growing and scaling their companies should apply. “We’re trying to help women entrepreneurs take their businesses to the next level,” she said. The ability of the owners to be advisable during the program is extremely important, Feather said, since they will regularly receive feedback on business practices. “As an entrepreneur, that’s something we all struggle with,” Huston said. “We’re looking for someone who is open to a variety of views.” Business owners are encouraged to apply by Monday, Sept. 15, to be selected for this year’s program. Applications sent after that date will be considered in the future. After the region’s governing body reviews the applications, a decision is expected to be made by late October or early November, Feather said.

State College school board allows audio recording on buses By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — After a lively discussion on how to best balance safety and privacy, the State College Area School District board of directors approved the use of audio recording on school buses and other district vehicles. This decision grew out of last year’s change to the Pennsylvania wiretapping laws, in which school districts were given an exception to the ban on such recordings. Many members of the board admitted they were torn on the issue, and had gone back and forth in their opinions over the course of the past few weeks of discus-

sion. Board member Jim Pawelczyk, who voted against the measure, said that balancing safety and privacy is simply “part of the world we live in now,” but added he wasn’t sure there was a compelling need to record audio on school vehicles. “When we’re talking about possibly infringing on a student’s right to privacy, there has to be a test to see if there is a need for this,” he said. “Is there a compelling need demonstrated by disciplinary problems for the use of this? The answer is no, we haven’t seen that.” Fellow board member Dorothea Stahl responded that school students are routinely subjected to suspended rights dur-

ing the school day. She gave the example that she could wear an offensive T-shirt, which would be protected by her First Amendment right to free speech, but a student would not be allowed to wear the same shirt at school. “We should use every tool available to us to make sure our children are safe and secure,” Stahl said. “The technology is already out there, so we can either respect it and use it appropriately or wish we had it when something happens.” Board member David Hutchinson reminded the board that this audio will not be regularly reviewed in search of problems, but would only be accessed in the event of an incident on a school vehicle

that requires disciplinary action. He said the board had a responsibility to use the tools available to ensure the safety of their students. The new policy passed 6-3, with Pawelczyk, Ann McGlaughlin and Laurel Zydney in the minority. District superintendent Robert O’Donnell told StateCollege.com that the video cameras that are already present on the district’s vehicles have audio capabilities that have been turned off until this point. They will be turned on after parents are informed and signs are posted in the vehicles clearly documenting the change. Recording, Page 5

players posted photos and videos of the celebration on social media. “I am gratified for the student-athletes who have remained resilient, committed and dedicated to Penn State during the past three years,” Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour said in a statement. “We will continue to work hard and strive for integrity and academic and athletic excellence every day and to provide our student-athletes with the best experience possible.” The Nittany Lions will will need to finish their season with a .500 record or better to qualify for a bowl game. In addition to being bowl-eligible, the 2-0 Lions are now eligible to participate in the Big Ten Championship Game in November.

Penn State President Eric Barron said that the developments were “welcome news” for the Penn State community, “particularly for our current and future studentathletes.” “Senator Mitchell’s report and recommendations, along with the actions taken by the NCAA today, are a recognition of the hard work of many over the past two years to make Penn State a stronger institution,” Barron said in a release. Penn State players, coaches and team staff were sent a text message soon after the NCAA released its news at about 2:30 p.m. on Monday. .At 3 p.m., a full-squad meeting was held. Players cheered and danced as they celebrated the news. Several

We have an opportunity to go to a bowl game.” Mitchell also recommended that if Penn State continues to make impressive progress at the conclusion of the 2015 report, Mitchell’s oversight may conclude substantially earlier than 2017, the date set forth in the original agreement between the NCAA and Penn State. Mitchell was appointed the independent athletics integrity monitor for Penn State. He has been providing quarterly and annual reports on the university’s progress in implementing 119 Freeh Report recommendations. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Penn State fans thrilled after bowl ban lifted By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — There was quite a commotion inside Breanne Rowe’s apartment on the afternoon of Sept. 8, when she and her roommates heard the news. “My whole apartment was freaking out and screaming, not just for football, but for the students. Everyone here I know is such a good person and we didn’t deserve this,” said Rowe, a junior from Annapolis, Md. Similar reactions from Penn State football fans’ could be heard and seen throughout Happy Valley after hearing the Penn State football program is eligible to compete in the post-season games starting with the current season. Rowe and her roommates have vowed to attend Penn State’s next bowl game. The NCAA’s decision to end a post-season ban two years early is especially good news for Penn State seniors, who were freshman when the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal broke and the NCAA leveled unprecedented sanctions against the university’s football program. Senior Dan Giannone — who attended the team’s first home game of the season Saturday under the new leadership of James Franklin — said Penn State playing in a bowl game for his senior year is amazing news. “I’ve been around since it was handed

down freshman year, so that’s definitely great to hear,” said Giannone, of Valley Forge. Senior Rebecca Morey, of Brick, N.J., said until now Penn State students were punished for the Sandusky scandal. “We’ve been through so much and we all feel not everybody should be punished,” said Morey. “We didn’t deserve it and now it’s done.” John Wojton, a junior from Norristown, agreed that students paid the price. “It hurt the students more than anyone else. We were getting punished for other people’s mistakes,” he said. Wojton said the decision will also bring better players to the program. Amber Falencki, a junior from Norristown, said the opportunity for bowl games adds a level of excitement for students. “I would love for us to go farther and experience the bowl games while we are here,” she said. “It’s really exciting.” In a second annual report released Sept. 8, former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell recommended the NCAA immediately lift the ban on bowl games for the Penn State football program allowing Penn State’s players to play in the post-season this year. Mitchell also recommended full restoration of scholarships for the football program. Specifically, that the NCAA increase the total number of grants-in-aid to 85 for the 2015-16 season. That’s the maximum

The NCAA announced that afternoon that it had accepted Mitchell’s recommendations. After Sandusky’s indictment for allegations of child sexual abuse and after the revelation that some of the former Penn State football coach’s crimes occurred on Penn State’s campus, the university hired Louis Freeh, former FBI director, to investigate the scandal. The subsequent Freeh Report found significant wrongdoing on the part of the university. In response, the NCAA leveled unprecedented sanctions against Penn State and

its football program, including a reduction in football scholarships, a four-year ban on bowl appearances, and the vacating of 111 wins under former head coach Joe Paterno. The university must also pay a $60 million fine, which the NCAA said will be used for child abuse awareness and prevention. Sandusky is serving 30 to 60 years in state prison. In 2012, a jury found him guilty on 45 counts of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. Three former Penn State administrators are awaiting trial for allegations they tried to cover up the scandal. All three men have pleaded not guilty.

September 11-17, 2014 Recording, from page 3 The board continued to discuss privacy concerns at the Sept. 8 meeting, ultimately deciding to purchase privacy insurance from the Westchester Fire Insurance Company. The policy costs a little more than $27,000 per year and provides insurance for a number of possibilities related to cyber-security breeches. Pawelczyk told StateCollege.com before the meeting that there had been no breech that prompted this discussion, and this is an entirely preventative measure. In the event of some kind of security breech, the policy would cover various expenses including legal costs if the district were to be sued, the cost of mailing letters to inform any individuals about compromised information, and any liability related to unauthorized use of their systems, among other possibilities. Board member Jim Leous argued

The Centre County Gazette the cost of the policy was “very reasonable” considering the various protections it offers. Fellow member Scott Fozard argued in response that the policy would do little to actually prevent any of these breeches. “We can insure ourselves to death, but I’d rather see that money go to improving security and our network, rather than to an insurance company,” Fozard said. The board will review the insurance policy after one year. It will look at network security data from various municipalities and other school districts to asses the value of this insurance. The decision to purchase the insurance passed 7-2, with Fozard and Pawelczyk voting no. The board also heard an update on the high school project planning schedule and appointed Jason Perrin to the assistant superintendent K-8 position.

Spikes, from page 1 Players mill about on both sides of the field, waiting for their stage to once again become suitable, but first things first: back to Neri. With quick, short bursts, he drags the area around home plate with a rake, smoothing out the batter’s box before moving to third base and evening out the dirt and clay. He finally moves back to home plate, at one point even wiping off the dish with his bare hand. Before the game resumes, others help: Cameron Walls moves around the infield, shoveling dry clay on top of the mostly wet dirt, while Drew Yoder sprays a white can of paint on top of home plate to make it glisten amid the dreary surroundings. If you aren’t familiar with Neri, the people he works with or the operation he oversees, that’s fine. Actually, that’s more than fine. It’s great. Maybe he’s not a superhero, but Neri doesn’t mind coming through without anyone knowing his name. So why does Neri embrace that type of anonymity? The way he sees it, if you don’t know him, then he’s doing his job. Neri is the sports turf manager for the State College Spikes, meaning he has the task of ensuring the field is always playable. This goes beyond just what the fans see, said Jason Dambach, the team’s senior vice president and general manager. A good groundskeeper isn’t just someone who knows how to mow the grass and put lines on the field, Dambach noted. There’s a lot of pre-game preparation and communication that’s involved, knowing how to anticipate potential problems before they pop up and quickly squashing them when they do. “I have a great appreciation for their jobs. It doesn’t begin when the gates open, it begins at 7 or 8 in the morning,” Dambach said. “They are the hardest-working people in baseball, no question about it, and their value is immense.” Neri constantly watches The Weather Channel, saying, “Everything we do is based around the weather,” and joking that so much of his life revolves the atmospheric conditions, he feels he should have a degree in meteorology. Neri accrued a wealth of experience and knowledge getting down and dirty with the job, sometimes literally, and he started years ago with the Altoona Curve. With Altoona, he worked his way up, and then was given the job of lead man on the Spikes grounds crew. He’s had the job since the club’s inception, with Dambach saying he’s the team’s longest-tenured employee. “I was very fortunate, I was able to get a job with the Curve, and I went on as an assistant and started working on the field,” Neri said. “I don’t have a degree in sports turf management; I’m one of the few guys who doesn’t, but I just kind of learned on the fly.” Neri and his team are great at their job — as evidence, the Spikes have had fewer than two dozen rainouts since 2006 — and Neri and Co. come through during the delay,

Penn State University installs new vending machines By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Forget your candy bars or packs of gum — these vending machines are serious. With pens, index cards, and even scientific calculators, the new vending machines on Penn State’s campus are intended to be a convenience for students. Located in the Knowledge Common’s locker area on the first floor of Pattee Library and in the lounge on the second floor of the Paterno Library, students, faculty and staff can purchase items using a LionCash+ card that has at least a $30 balance. “It seemed reasonable to install them at the locations where the students are studying and working,” said Catherine Grigor, spokesperson

allowing the game to resume without further stoppage. “When you have an experienced grounds crew, in particular an experienced manager like Matt, and you have a wonderful playing surface and terrific state-of-the-art drainage, it makes the operation even that much better,” Dambach said. The importance of playing isn’t just for the benefit of the fans. With a finite number of home dates on the calendar, the Spikes have only so many chances to generate revenue and take advantage of the home confines; the Spikes finished 30-8 at home last year, helping to secure their first division title in club history. A day before that rain-infused afternoon doubleheader, Neri, Walls and Yoder worked under more amicable circumstances in the hours of a late Sunday morning. While Neri maneuvered a riding lawnmower back and forth between center field and right field, Walls worked on the visiting team’s bullpen and Yoder spent about a half hour watering the infield. Walls, a 2012 State College High School graduate and Penn State junior majoring in turfgrass management, has an internship with the Spikes and hopes to work with a major league ballclub next summer. For now, he’s leveling the mound in the bullpen. As Walls explained, when pitchers push off the mound, they create holes with the spikes on their cleats, so after each game he goes through a process known as “tamping” and evens everything out. The tamp Walls uses has a long, straight handle, similar to a shovel, attached to a square, even metal end. A few dozen times, Walls raises the tamp in the air a few inches and brings the tamp down — jarringly hard — making sure the clay is packed tight and evenly. “It’s great to see the stuff you do actually makes a difference,” Walls said. “Working the infield, you don’t see those bad hops you get in high school. It’s great to see.” Walls and Yoder both look like ballplayers, and they fit in at Medlar Field, where they’ll routinely work 15-hour days, and even registered an 18-hour day during the PIAA baseball state finals when Medlar Field hosted the championships. There are some perks, with Neri’s children now growing into baseball fans. Sometimes, they’ll get to hang out with dad at the park, running around the field and being part of the furniture. “It goes fast,” Neri said, referencing the long workdays. “You’re working in baseball, you’re around baseball; I can think of a lot worse things to spend 15 hours doing.” “You’ve got to love the game to be out here doing this,” Walls added. Yoder said the guys won’t work that much on an off day, about only eight hours. In other words: A slow day for the Spikes ground crew is equivalent to the average workday for most other people.

for the libraries. “It was a way to serve the students and that’s what the libraries are all about.” Joe Fennewald, head of Knowledge Commons, said most students have yet to discover the new machines as it’s only a few days into the semester, but he expects that to change soon. Specifically, he says students will appreciate easy access to “blue books,” commonly required for class assignments, as well what might be an unexpected item — a poncho. “How many times have you been somewhere on campus and it starts to pour down rain and you’ve got to get somewhere? Having the ponchos available is going to be really nice,” said Fennewald. “I think it’s going to be a big convenience and I think students are going to use them.” The machines were installed just before the start of the fall semester.

The guys get to know the ballplayers a little bit, and seeing the guys play all the time provides some enjoyment for a job in which there’s little relief, they said. And Neri said it’s particularly exciting to turn on the television and see guys playing in the major leagues who previously called Medlar Field their home ballpark. “It also helps a lot when the coaches and players will tell you how good the field looks or how well it played that night,” Yoder said. Yoder, a 2012 Penn State graduate from Lewistown, also majored in turfgrass management. He toured the University Park campus when he was in high school, and wandered over to the Valentine Research Center. He remembered, “just how cool the grass looked, it was so pristine,” and that’s what sparked his interest. Both Dambach and Neri talked of the importance of having Penn State researchers just a few steps away. Neri regularly is in contact with professors, either asking for opinions or just for additional information. Neri sounds and talks like an expert himself, but there’s tremendous value in partnering with Penn State and having open communication. “Pretty much everyone that’s on my crew has gone through that program,” Neri said, referencing the turfgrass major. “Not only that, but if I have any issues out here, I have world-renowned professors over there that I can call. They’re more than happy to help, and they’ll come out to the ballpark. “That is key, and they are so great to work with. It’s just invaluable to have that right there. It’s the best program in the world and it’s right across the street.” A few times this season, rain came down in such enormous amounts in such a quick time that State College experienced flooding the same day the Spikes had a home game scheduled. Each time, the team played. After the first occurrence, earlier this summer, Neri spoke to his dad after the game. Neri’s dad was incredulous upon hearing the Spikes played, but Neri’s reaction — “Yeah, of course we did,” — is indicative of how much confidence he has in his crew. Another such time transpired in early August, and Dambach pointed out that a huge water puddle overtook left field only a few hours before the first pitch. By the time the game started, the field didn’t give any indication it had rained at all that day, let alone enough to cause flooding. Neri said that occasionally a new person will come onto the crew, somebody who’s used to a game being postponed the instant rain starts to fall. That’s not how it works with the Spikes, and everyone on his team figures that out sooner or later. “As long as it’s not raining during game time, we’re going to play,” Neri said, “and that’s definitely a sense of pride.”

International students monitored under CDC Ebola guidelines By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State University is monitoring a small group of international students in compliance with Ebola prevention guidelines offered by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Penn State spokesman L. Reidar Jensen said the guidelines were issued by the CDC on Aug. 29 and university medical personnel have been in touch with all known Penn State students, roughly 80, who have traveled to and from countries dealing with the Ebola outbreak. Anyone who may be identified as potentially at-risk for exposure will receive a follow-up screening from a university medical professional, says Jensen. The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is being called the largest in history. According to the CDC there are already 3,707 confirmed or suspected cases. Deaths believed

to have been caused by Ebola now total 1,848. Ebola cases have been reported in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and recently a small number of cases have been reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to the CDC. “In general, medical personnel are encouraging all members of the Penn State community who have traveled within the past 21 days to an area that currently is experiencing an outbreak of Ebola to monitor for fever and symptoms daily,” said Jensen. “If an individual develops symptoms, they are being instructed to contact their local medical provider (or University Health Services in the case of students) for follow up.” Signs and symptoms of Ebola include fever, severe headache, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, or unexplained bleeding or bruising. Symptoms can appear anywhere from two to 21 days

after exposure to Ebola, said the CDC. The Ebola virus is spread through direct contact with blood and body fluids. Jensen said no immediate threat to the region has been identified so far. “UHS staff and medical personnel are closely following all recommendations from the CDC and the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and are continuing to work closely with university and community colleagues to determine risk and ensure the safety of the community,” said Jensen. Marlene Stetson, infection control and prevention coordinator at Mount Nittany Medical Center, said if a patient were to have symptoms consistent with Ebola virus and the patient had recent contact with another infected individual or had recently been to areas in facing Ebola outbreaks, appropriate or recommended infection control precautions would be followed. Stetson said that would include recom-

mendations from the CDC and the World Health Organization. Guidelines include isolation of the infected patient, gloves, face protection to include a mask and goggles, a long-sleeved gown, and regular hand washing. “Recognizing that we live in a global community, Mount Nittany Health works closely with other community partners such as The Pennsylvania State University and Department of Health to prepare for evolving health crises such as Ebola virus,” said Stetson. “At this point, awareness is key. At Mount Nittany Health, we are continuing to monitor and stay informed about Ebola virus and the evolving outbreak.” Stetson said the hospital’s policies and procedures, staff training and education, and equipment and supplies are designed to account for unanticipated illnesses and medical adversities, including infectious diseases like the Ebola virus.

Ancestry, from page 1 a book about the history of Burnside Township, her hometown. “It’s interesting. We’re kind of witnessing this moment where we’re straddling these kind of two eras that have overlapped for about a decade,” Cannon said. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began collecting genealogical records from throughout the world in 1894. Today, it oversees more than 4,600 FHCs worldwide. These centers can order microfilms of the records from church headquarters in Utah. Ordering and waiting for the microfilm to be shipped to view it on a machine might seem foreign in the world’s increasingly digital society. This is where new online search opportunities, such as FamilySearch.org, come in to play. “Familysearch.org is a wonderful resource,” Taylor said. “It’s free and will always be free. They have all the census records. That is the place to start.” Documents such as census records are available online due to indexing movements spearheaded by the church. The work is done on an all-volunteer basis. “I like to call FamilySearch.org ‘Facebook for the dead,’” Cannon said. “You can get on there, you can upload pictures, tag ancestors and (more).” Not all microfilmed documents have been indexed yet, but that is the goal, Taylor said. “At the same time with it being easy, it’s also kind of easy to overlook a lot of the skills that are involved in really cracking the tough cases,” Cannon said, which is why the world still needs genealogists and people with good instincts. Despite the growing availability of online resources for the public to search for information about their ancestors, FHCs are still valuable places to have, Taylor said. While the State College FHC has reference books on how to do research and some literature specific to Pennsylvanians and Centre County natives, she said that the most beneficial offering that the center has is the availability of microfilms. “There still aren’t people who are comfortable using a computer,” she said. “We offer assistance.” “It … does serve as a good teaching facility,” Cannon said. Many classes take place after church services on Sunday, he said, which members of the public are welcome to attend.

NATO meeting fails to agree on a strategy Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The recent NATO summit in Wales, attended by President Barack Obama, attempted to adapt the organization’s current configuration to the problems of 2014. NATO — the North Atlantic Treaty Organization — was founded after World War II by North American and Western European nations to form a military alliance to prevent the expansion of the Soviet Union and its military Warsaw Pact farther westward in Europe. It was largely successful. It never had to go to war. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1990, NATO has found itself in search of a mission. The United States has continued to provide the bulk of its financing as well as its personnel and firepower. In fact, one of the less-discussed issues at the Wales summit was the abject failure of most of NATO’s 27 other members to devote 2 percent per year of their gross domestic product to defense. There was the usual pledge on the part of those in shortfall to increase spending over the next 10 years. The United States has attempted over the years to drag NATO into various of its military conflicts. The Europeans did see the relevance of the problems occasioned by the breakup of Yugoslavia and participated. The second Iraq war, NATO declined, although some of its members did contribute. Afghanistan showed a better NATO turnout. Obama tried at the most recent summit to pull NATO into the pushing and pulling with Russia in Eastern Ukraine. Its members, particularly Germany, clearly prefer diplomacy, including threats of more economic sanctions against Russia, to the kind of military threats Washington tends to make in spite of American public opinion. Obama is currently involved in trying to put together a new coalition to confront the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Apart from the United Kingdom, involvement in the Islamic State affair will be a hard sell to the other NATO members, preoccupied as they are with their economies and with European matters such as Ukraine, a non-NATO member, particularly as Russia threatens to close its air space if European countries impose more sanctions on it.

Americans are fighting over history again. Last month, the College Board released a “curriculum framework” to guide the teaching of Advanced Placement high school history classes. Conservatives immediately derided the standards, and the Republican National Committee said the document “emphasizes negative aspects of our nation’s history.” Defenders said the new standards do celebrate American history at times, but that history is now taught in a more “unsettling, provocative and compelling” fashion than it was a generation ago. Whose history is correct? How should it be taught to high schoolers? Columnists Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk weigh in. Well now, the shoe is on the other foot. For years now, liberals have been complaining that conservative partisans on the Texas Board of Education — which buys 48 million textbooks a year — have de facto control over the national history curriculum: Other states buy textbooks geared to Texas tastes, and there’s nothing Texans seem to like more than a little bit of puffed-up myth-making. The result: Texas officials essentially mandated that history textbooks become a primer on the modern conservative movement, with instructions that “the conservative resurgence of the 1980s and 1990s, including Phyllis Schlafly, the Contract With America, the Heritage Foundation, the Moral Majority and the National Rifle Association” be

part of every youngster’s education. History — according to Texas rules — would be little more than an exercise in indoctrination. That’s not the proper role of history, but that’s how it’s often used by conservatives. Now conservatives have the gall to suggest it’s liberals who have politicized history. Why? Because the history taught in the new standards isn’t a whitewash. We Americans believe we’re good. More than that, though, we want to be told, over and over again, how good we are — to have our goodness as a country affirmed, constantly, and it is all to often the case that anybody who pauses the contemplate the darker side of our country’s past will stand accused of “hating” America or siding with the country’s enemies. The new AP standards are probably not perfect, but they appear to represent an honest and honorable attempt to help students deal critically and thoughtfully both with the best moments of our country’s past, we well as our lesser moments. There’s nothing to be afraid of in that. Too bad conservatives are so scared.

BEN BOYCHUK

Let’s not kid ourselves. Liberals and leftists have been politicizing American history since at least the 1960s. Radical and social historians are in the mainstream of university history departments today. Who do you think writes the textbooks? Who wrote the AP history frameworks? Hint: Not right-wingers. This isn’t about conservative “fear.” It’s about truth. To hear the framework’s designers tell it, they only want to present American history “in context” and free from sentimentality and cant. But the frameworks themselves tell a different story. “The

Most politicians, I’m convinced, believe they can talk their way out of anything. Whether it is arrogance, over-confidence or just plain stupidity, this trait often seems to lead them into disaster when facing serious legal challenges to their conduct in office. The latest example of this, of course, is that of former Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell and his wife, both of whom are now facing massive jail sentences for accepting gifts from a multimillionaire owner of a company who wanted their influence to help promote his firm’s products. The McDonnell’s convictions after a sensational trial on federal charges that didn’t include bribery or any of the normal quid pro quo allegations of corruption in these matters is likely, legal analysts say, to expand significantly the temptation for prosecutors to take on cases against public officials they had heretofore decided to skip as too difficult. In instructing the jury, the judge all but declared that anything done while in office can be counted “an official act.” The jury literally decided the McDonnell’s had sold the prestige of the office. But that’s to be settled in the appeals process that will take months. The governor and his wife, apparently now estranged, are scheduled

idea of America as a nation founded on the pursuit of freedom and equality is presented mainly as a myth ever in need of more repudiation,” writes Peter Wood, president of the National Association of Schools. Perhaps the new AP history frameworks should be called the Howard Zinn history frameworks. Zinn, a hard-left Boston University historian who died in 2010, wrote “A People’s History of the United States.” The book, which is enormously popular with more than 2 million copies in print, peddles what one wag properly described as “a victims’-eye panorama of the American experience.” Zinn’s United States is a nation built on uninterrupted exploitation, greed and racism. His history is a blinkered history. So, too, is the College Board’s. The frameworks’ defenders assert that America’s founding does not get short shrift, contrary to critics’ claims. “The Declaration of Independence stands front and center alongside the Constitution in the section devoted to ‘experiments with democratic ideas and republican forms of government,’ including those of France, Haiti and Latin America,” wrote James Grossman, executive director of the American Historical Association, in The New York Times. But Grossman misses the point. All republics are not created equal. The French, Haitian and Latin American “experiments” were all failures. The United States is not just another nation among many. A proper study of history is one of the key foundations of American citizenship. Did America’s founding have defects? Of course. But when it comes to studying our history, “warts and all,” the new historians seem only to be interested in the warts.

McDonnell showed arrogance, stupidity to be sentenced in January and are expected to remain free on bond until a higher court takes a stance. The real point of this is that we now have learned that most of the governor’s troubles and all of those heaped on his wife Maureen — in one of the more bizarre defenses ever offered in the trial of an elected official at this level — could have gone away last December. He defended himself by pointing his finger at his former cheerleader wife of many years. Is the word “cad” appropriate here? Prosecutors offered the first governor in the history of Virginia to face such charges an opportunity to plead to one count of lying to a bank if he would merely stipulate in a signed statement that he was helping Johnnie Williams’ company at the same time Williams was providing him and Maureen an estimated $177,000 in gifts. She would not have been charged with anything and the worst McDonnell would have received would range from probation to three years in prison. He turned down the offer, apparently without consulting her. What in the world was this guy — who had presidential visions — thinking? Was he nuts or stupid? In either case, he shouldn’t have been in office in the first place. The “Who, me? I’m not guilty of anything” posture he assumed in front of a “jury of his peers” has left him now facing 20 years on each of

11 counts on which he was convicted and the same for his wife to whom the panel handed a “guilty” verdict on nine counts. He nor Maureen will do anywhere near that time if precedent holds. A salient fact in this case, by the way, for those of you not familiar with Virginia law, is that the commonwealth has a pretty lenient view when it comes to ethics of public officials. Only gifts of above $50 need reporting. That’s likely to change. As for the clean government claims, a detailed study by Indiana University on state corruption ranked Virginia 34th. The appearance of impropriety alone in Williams’ beneficence was overwhelming. They included paying for a McDonnell daughter’s wedding reception, clothes for Maureen and so forth. Did not his legal team warn him of that? Juries are scary, often easily manipulated and fickle creatures. At best one’s chances frequently are no better than 50-50, like an advanced cancer. I remember hearing my lawyer son advise his day care client charged in the case of a dead baby. “They probably have overcharged you and I believe I can win the case, but it’s still a tossup. I can get you out of this with a much reduced charge of negligence and no jail time. Otherwise you’re facing a 50-year sentence. Take the deal.” She did. So should have McDonnell.

Considering the disease behind the Ice Bucket Challenge HERSHEY — The Ice Bucket Challenge that was all over social media a few weeks ago raised about $100 million for ALS. But, how much do those who participated and donated really know about the condition, diagnosis and treatment of the devastating, fatal motor neuron disease? “The challenge was important in terms of the awareness and money it has raised,” said Dr. Zachary Simmons, professor of neurology and director of the Penn State Hershey ALS Center. “In my experience, most individuals understand it is a bad disease, but they don’t know much more than that.” Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease for the famous baseball player who died from it, is a condition that causes loss of voluntary muscle strength, causing weakness in the arms and legs, and creating difficulty with speech and swallowing. While the number of diagnoses hasn’t changed much since the disease was first identified in 1869, the amount of research has progressively increased. The challenge is that scientists still don’t know what causes the condition. “We know that certain processes don’t work right, but we don’t know why that is or what is the initial trigger,” Simmons said. “Until we know that, it is going to be very difficult to identify treatments.” The only drug approved for treating ALS is riluzole, which prolongs the life span of affected individuals for three months on average. “We don’t really know whether it is effective in everyone who takes it,” Simmons said. “We know it can’t stop the disease in its tracks or reverse it.” The first symptoms of ALS usually include asymmetric weakness in the limbs — a weak hand, a foot drop, an arm that can’t be raised. In about a third of patients, slurred speech or difficulty swallowing is the first sign. Because the symptoms of ALS look much the same as

symptoms of more common diseases, it often takes about a year from the onset of symptoms until medical professionals can make a definitive diagnosis. “There is no one specific test for it,” Simmons said. “A diagnosis is made by combining a number of different factors — history, a physical exam, electromyography and nerve conduction studies — with blood tests, MRIs and sometimes muscle biopsies and spinal taps to rule out other conditions.” The average life span for someone with ALS is two or three years after the first onset of symptoms. After five years, the survival rate is 20 percent. “It is devastating because it involves progressive loss of movement and paralysis,” Simmons said. Before death, those affected often lose the ability to speak and swallow. The cause of death is usually respiratory failure. Simmons said, “It poses enormous challenges for those affected and the people caring for them, and we have no effective medical treatments.” In some of those affected, the disease appears to have a genetic component. The Penn State Hershey Institute for Personalized Medicine is collecting saliva samples from ALS patients and as many family members as possible to better understand how mutations in some genes can lead to the death of motor neurons. Simmons said people are always asking whether stem cell research can help. Trials are underway at a handful of places around the country to determine the safety of such treatments and to determine the proper dosages. He said no one knows yet whether a cure will result: “The hope is if you introduce stem cells and they develop into healthy motor neurons, or if they provide a healthier environment for existing motor neurons, we might be able to change the natural history of the disease.”

Student benefits from Penn State GridSTAR program UNIVERSITY PARK — Industrial engineering major Kareem Ali recently participated in Penn State’s Immersive Summer Experience in Energy and Sustainable Business program, giving him practical experience vital to career development and skill building. The program included applied coursework coupled with a corresponding internship experience, partly taking place at Penn State’s GridSTAR Smart Grid Experience Center at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The center serves as an education and research facility featuring an array of hightech tools, including a modular smart home, electric vehicle charging stations and solar energy systems, that give students hands-on experience with sustainable energy, water and living systems. As part of the program, Ali worked throughout the summer as a paid intern at CertainTeed, where he completed research focused on constructing homes that are more energy efficient and sustainable. According to its website, CertainTeed is a leading North American manufacturer of building materials, such as siding, roofing, fencing, decking and insulating products. Based at the company’s headquarters in Valley Forge, he visited the GridSTAR’s modular smart home several times each

week to run tests, collect information and analyze data dealing with the relative humidity, temperature, heat flux and lighting of homes. Ali also earned six credits during the summer by taking two courses through the program. He explained that the courses, paired with his internship, provided a wellrounded educational experience. “There’s a huge difference between reading about something and then actually getting to experience it,” Ali said. “That’s why I loved this program. You really got to experience what you learned about.” Associate professor of engineering Ivan Esparragoza, who taught Ali in several of his classes, was thrilled to see his student excel in the summer program and explained that internships are a vital part of Penn State Brandywine’s academic programs. “Internships provide an opportunity for students to close the gap between the classroom and the professional work,” Esparragoza said. “A successful internship opens future job opportunities for the students.” Enrolled in Penn State’s 2+2 Plan, Ali recently transitioned to University Park to finish his degree program after completing his freshman and sophomore years at Penn State Brandywine.

Penns Cave hosts annual Antique Machinery Fall Show By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL — The Nittany Antique Machinery Association held its 40th annual Fall Show, Sept. 4 to 7 at Penns Cave. NAMA’s first show was held at Penns Cave farm in September 1975. The attendance and enthusiasm exceeded expectations, so they decided to hold a show annually on the first weekend after Labor Day. The NAMA fall show has grown to be one of the largest of its kind east of the Mississippi. Each year, one brand of farm equipment is featured at the show. This year’s brand was the J.I. Case Company. The display area featured 114 tractors bearing the Case name, as well as 665 units of other brands. In addition to the antique tractors on display, hit-and-miss engines and antique cars and trucks were shown. Demonstrations of a working sawmill and a cider press, powered by antique engines, were performed for the large crowd of spectators. Antique tractor pulls and parades of tractors and equipment were held at 11 a.m. each day. The show also featured a flea market with nearly 800 vendors. Robert Mungai, of Burgettstown, spent three years restoring his 1928 Case Model T tractor, which he displayed at the show. “I took it down to the bare frame,” he said, as he pointed to a photo in the album

that tracked the progress of the restoration. The tractor was repainted in the factory-gloss gray color, with red lettering and pin striping done by hand. The Case Model T was an unusual design because its engine sits in the frame sideways, compared to other tractors. Mungai said this design placed a crankshaft-mounted pulley for driving equipment with a flat belt on the right side of the tractor, protruding beyond the tractor body. He said the design was short-lived. “They quit using tractors so much for belt power,” said Mungai. “They went to shaft drives from the power take-offs.” Mungai’s Case features a 640-cubicinch four-cylinder engine, which makes 45 horsepower at the pulley and 25 horsepower at the drawbar. The transmission has two forward speeds and one reverse, which propel the 10,035-pound tractor with cleated metal wheels at a maximum road speed of just more than three miles per hour. A 1910 vintage Case steam tractor owned by John Pino and Fred Passeo, of Covington, powered a functioning portable sawmill. A long flat belt connected the engine’s flywheel to the saw blade shaft. Seeing this apparatus brought back memories for Dick Heck, of Centre Hall. “I worked with a steam-powered sawmill for awhile,” said Heck. “I was just out of high school in 1947. It was a stationary engine, and Fay Harker owned it. It was in Mill Creek Hollow in Huntingdon County.”

ROBERT MUNGAI drives his 1928 Case Model T tractor in the parade of equipment. Heck remembers standing beside the hot steam engine to get warm while working in the winter. In the hit-and-miss engine display area, Anthony DeLong, of Lewisburg, showed a 1924 Domestic side shaft engine with an external cam shaft that operates the valves on its single cylinder. The engine was powering a mud pump.

DeLong said these pumps were typically used to pump water, mud and debris out of rain-flooded areas in construction sites. “It’ll pick up just about anything,” he said. DeLong owns 10 hit-and-miss engines, and has been coming to the NAMA show for three years.

Boalsburg events will celebrate and save local heritage BOALSBURG — Boalsburg will celebrate the birthday of the historic village and of America itself with a free festival and a benefit ball on the Columbus weekend. The festival is designed to raise heritage awareness and the ball is intended to “raise the roof” and fix roof leaks that are now threatening the 200-year-old Boal Mansion Museum. Buoyed by the surge of community support to save the Boal Barn Playhouse, which resulted in repairs that have allowed the facility to now comply with fire and safety codes, the Boal Museum Board has decided to try another very big project — re-roofing the northern portion of the Boal Mansion Museum. “There is an urgent need to put an end to leaks that are damaging the internationally renowned historic building and the collection within,” said museum CEO Christopher Lee. Project architect Philip Foreman estimates it will take $200,000 to replace the existing crumbling leaking asphalt shingle roof with a long-lasting standing seam roof as recommended by the architectural conservation plan written for the site by architect Dale Frens, of West Chester. Fundraising for such an expensive proj-

ect also can be “fun raising,” and the roofing campaign is no exception. The campaign will kick off with the “Let’s Raise the Roof” ball at the Boal Mansion at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 11, that will honor major contributors to the campaign with champagne, punch and hors d’oeuvres from area restaurants, as well as contra dancing. The festive event will also feature a midevening speaking appearance of historical characters from the eight generations of the Boal family and their friends, some in period dress, who shaped the community and the nation. Many of the historical characters will appear again at the Boalsburg Heritage Birthday Festival in the village square from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 12. The festival commemorates the founding of Boalsburg in October 1808 and Columbus’ historic landing in the New World in October 1492. The Columbus focus is explained by the fact that the Columbus Chapel at the Boal Mansion Museum is the strongest tangible link in North America to the famous explorer and has been featured on BBC-TV in the United Kingdom and Belgian National Public TV. The museum is open daily to the public. Details can be found at the museum’s

Local fruit farm offers tips on keeping apples fresh By LAURA COYNE STEEL Special to the Gazette

PORT MATILDA — With the fall season approaching, you may be thinking about apples — applesauce, apple pie, apple butter, bobbing for apples and recipes that feature apples. After all, many favorite fall activities feature the sweet, delicious and high-fiber fruit. Jason and Megan Coopey have overseen Way Fruit Farm in Port Matilda for the past six years, taking over the reins from Megan’s parents, Brooks and Sharon Way. Here are some questions and answers about the beloved fall fruit. CCG: What is the best way to store apples at home? WAY FRUIT FARM: Keep them in your fruit/veggie drawer and place a damp paper towel on top of the apples before closing the drawer. You never want fruit sitting in water. By surrounding them with dampness, you’ll ensure that you don’t pull moisture out of the fruit. A bowl of apples on the kitchen

counter is pretty, but the quality of those apples will decline quickly at room temperature. CCG: Which apples last the longest? WFF: Golden Delicious, Red Delicious and Ida Red are our best-storing apples. They are firm and are not prone to any storage problems, such as spotting or water core. Water core is when you cut into an apple and the inside has turned brown. CCG: Can you explain your expanded cooling and refrigeration system? WFF: When we renovated our business six years ago, we expanded our single refrigerated room into two larger rooms within our brand-new addition. Our new cooling system is basically two large, glorified refrigerators that are more energy-efficient. We operate both cooling rooms in the busy fall season. One is a 15-ton unit, and the other is 8 tons — that translates into a total of 17,000 bushels of apples. Our coolers are kept at 34 degrees and 80-percent relative humidity. We have thermometers in each cooler, and we also run water through a garden hose into the coolers every few days to keep humidity

levels up. CCG: How does humidity affect apples? WFF: The most important factor in keeping apples crisp is humidity. Wrinkly fruit is not always old or overripe, but could simply be dehydrated. Our apples go directly from our orchard to our refrigerated coolers, which is exactly what buyers should do to keep their fruit fresh. CCG: What other produce do you keep in your coolers? WFF: In addition to apples, we use the coolers for all of our fruits and local vegetables that we sell throughout the year. Those include peaches, sweet corn, plums, pears, cherries, cantaloupe, watermelon, zucchini and peppers. The only vegetable that we don’t put into our coolers is onions. Believe it or not, one small box of onions can throw off the flavor of a cooler full of apples. CCG: How are you able to offer apples year-round? WFF: We only offer certain types at certain times. For instance, we still have Ida Red apples from last fall, and we’ve harvested Lodi apples. Other fall varieties

Penns Valley district begins new school year By SAM STITZER pennsvalley@centrecountygazette.com

CENTRE HALL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At 7:45 a.m., Riley Winkelblech stood along Route 192 near Centre Hall on the first day of school, waiting for the bus to show up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running late,â&#x20AC;? said his mother, Krista Winkelblech. A few minutes later, the bus arrived with lights flashing. The door opened and Riley boarded, bound for the Centre Hall-Potter Elementary School, where he began his first day in second grade. Scenes like this were repeated all over Penns Valley the morning of Sept. 2, as the district began the new school year. Danielle Yoder, principal of the Centre Hall-Potter and Miles Township elementary schools, said that staff members at both schools were energetic and ready to begin a new year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 224 students in grades kindergarten through four at Centre Hall, and 116 at Rebersburg,â&#x20AC;? said Yoder. She noted that schools are changing, and that teachers are focusing more on the students as individuals. She also praised the support provided by both schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; parentteacher groups and the community. Kurt Nyquist, principal of the Penns Valley Elementary and Intermediate School, said he was excited for the school year to begin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am starting my 11th year as principal at PVEI. We have added technology â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all first- through sixth-grade students will be assigned an iPad or iPad Mini. This follows our technology plan. It is expected that teachers make technology part of their instruction and not just a special event,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are focused on student learning and achievement and want to make sure that everything we do has student achievement as our driving force.â&#x20AC;? Brian Griffith, superintendent of schools for the Penns Valley Area School District, cited a district-wide increase in focusing on student achievement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have rolled out our expectations for a continuation of improved student achievement through the use of research-based instructional practices,â&#x20AC;? said Griffith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have revised our math curriculum to include more rigorous, high-quality academic expectations for all students. Our students need to be better problem solvers, critical thinkers and effective communicators.â&#x20AC;?

Griffith noted that the district has purchased new math resources, which include a full online component, as well as computer technology for all elementary students to use in their classrooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our efforts will require ongoing training and discussion with our instructional team. The idea of continu-

ous improvement within a school system requires a constant focus on working with everyone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; students, parents, teachers, para-educators, administrators, support personnel and community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to achieve our mission of empowering our students every day to reach individual success,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Pedal tractor and scooter pulls draw crowds at fair By SAM STITZER CENTRE HALL — Tractor and truck pulls have long been a major attraction at the Grange Fair. Standard farm tractors and pickup trucks, as well as highly modified machines, compete to see who can pull the weight sled the farthest down the dirt track, belching clouds of smoke and making ear-splitting noise. There are even pulls for garden tractors and ATVs, but the pulls that attract the most entrants use tractors that make no smoke or noise — because they do not have engines. Their power is supplied by pedals, pushed by children from ages 3 to 10. The pedal tractor pull is held on a special concrete track located in front of the main pulling track. The kids all use the same pedal tractors and weight sled, supplied by Norm Wenrick, with weights varying according to the puller’s age. A full pull in this event is 31 feet. Wenrick has been involved with the pedal pulls for 30 years. “I enjoy watching the little kids, because you never know what to expect with them,” said Wenrick. “When they get older they get a little more serious.” Wenrick said that some people told him that it wasn’t fair to have girls competing against boys, but he disagrees. “One year I had six full pulls, and five of the six were girls,” he said.

Wenrick said he conducts 10 to 12 pulls per year at various fairs and carnivals in several counties. This is the 30th year for the pedal tractor pulls at the Grange Fair. A total of 4,432 kids have participated since then. The first pull had 83 entrants, and this year there were 161, some coming from as far away as Maryland and Virginia. Each participant gets a lollipop and a pedal pull sticker, and trophies are awarded to the top five pullers in each age category. For folks on the other end of the age scale, a brand new event was inaugurated at the Southside Stage this year. A scooter pull was held for the three- and four-wheeled electric scooters used by folks who have difficulty walking around the vast fairgrounds. Wenrick conducted this event using the weight sled from the pedal pulls with an added steel plate loaded with extra weights, totaling nearly 300 pounds. He described the pull as a fun event that was experimental. Pull distances were not measured, and there were no classes for different size scooters. Wenrick was assisted by Travis Barr, of T & B Medical, who originated the idea for the scooter pull. Bunny Shaw mounted her red four-wheeled scooter, adorned with a “Bunny Power” sign, and pulled the sled across the concrete floor in front of the stage, becoming the first scooter puller in Grange Fair history. About a dozen other pullers followed suit, bringing cheers and applause from the crowd of about 100 spectators.

Fall marks change in routines By ANDREA BOYLES Special to the Gazette

STATE COLLEGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With school back in session, fall sports in full swing, and daylight fading earlier, routines change. For children, routines are particularly important. Routines teach responsibility, help kids learn to plan and help them gain trust. When routines have to change, we need to help children learn how to adapt to these changes. These changes can become learning opportunities that we can make the most of through conversation. Now is a great time to talk about how days will look this fall. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great time to talk about expectations regarding waking up and going to bed, homework habits and meals. When routines have to change, talking it through helps kids

understand that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a big deal when something doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as planned, and that goes a long way in helping kids feel safe. For younger children, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to talk about the unexpected. For example, if a child gets off the bus and there is no adult at home, what is she supposed to do? Sometimes we are reluctant to do this planning because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to scare children, but having a plan for the unexpected is important for their safety and well-being. So, help your children learn to plan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; plan your fall routines, use broken routines as a learning opportunity, and plan for the unexpected. Your kids will thank you for it.

PENN STATE AT RUTGERS n 8 P.M.

UNIVERSITY PARK — All’s well, they say, that ends well. Although for Penn State football fans, there were some unwell moments — or at least uneasy ones — in the Nittany Lions’ 21-3 victory over a very strong Akron team during the first home appearance of the season. Quarterback Christian Hackenberg showed some out-of-character inconsistency, Penn State had three turnovers, and the running game again struggled. If not for some second-half success in the wildcat, PSU would have been under 100 yards on the ground for the second week in a row. There was one constant for Penn State in the game, however: the play of its defense. Time and again the Lions turned away Akron threats, including one from the 1-yard line on the Zips’ opening drive. Twice, Penn State stopped Akron drives on fourth down, and the Lions allowed only a third-quarter, 28-yard field goal by Robert Stein. Akron managed only 69 yards on the ground, and even though dual-threat quarterback Kyle Pohl passed for 207 yards, he was harassed and hurried by the Lion pass rush all afternoon. It was the kind of all-out, aggressive defense that head coach James Franklin and defensive coordinator Bob Shoop have been promising to put on the field ever since they came to Penn State last February. “We just keep turning out and turning

in,” sophomore linebacker Brandon Bell said. “You play for the pressure of the third and fourth down. Everybody loves that pressure. “We are always in attack mode every play from beginning to end. We are fired up and aggressive.” Penn State needed that defensive aggression until it finally put its offense into gear in the second half. Penn State did score a late first-quarter touchdown on a beautiful flair pass from Hackenberg to Bill Belton to take a 7-0 lead. But a combination of a determined Akron defense and a somewhat out of synch PSU offense kept the Lions off the scoreboard for four consecutive drives in the second quarter, and Penn State took that tenuous 7-point lead into the locker room at halftime. Then Penn State fumbled on its first possession of the third quarter, and Akron converted that turnover into a field goal to creep within four points at 7-3. It was at this point that two big events turned the game around for Penn State. The first was a 26-yard completion from Hackenberg to Eugene Lewis on a crucial third-and-23 from PSU’s 33-yard line. The play kept the Penn State drive alive, and six plays later (including two more Lewis catches), Hackenberg found tight end Jesse James open for a 13-yard touchdown and a 14-3 lead. The second was the introduction of the wildcat offense that revived the Lions’ running game. After the defense (again) forced an Akron punt, Akeel Lynch, Zach Zwinak and Belton began moving the chains with the wildcat direct snaps. And even

though an interception inside the 5-yard line stopped that drive, Penn State came right back and scored on its next possession on a 44-yard pass and run from Hackenberg to James. “I think it’s (the wildcat) going to be a big part of the offense,” Franklin said. “I know people seem to hate the wildcat, but I love it. We’re going to do whatever we have to do to get numbers. “We were able to do that really well when Zwinak was in there. I thought Akeel did some nice things, too. We want to be able to continue to do that, which is a way to be physical and compose your role in the running game. We had a few wrinkles off of that as well, but we’d love that to grow as well as our traditional offense.” Penn State, ahead now 21-3 and with a defense in control of the Akron offense, began to work on the clock. Penn State stopped Akron’s last-chance drive that ended when PSU forced four consecutive incompletions at the Penn State 13. “We are going to enjoy wins around here,” Franklin said. “I’m not going to become one of these coaches that the losses hurt more than the wins feel good. We’re going to enjoy it. That’s everybody. “Everybody’s a part of this win: the coaches, the players, the doctors, the academic support, the fans, the local media, everybody is a part of this win today. We’re going to enjoy it.” Penn State will now begin preparations for Rutgers, who is also 2-0 after its 38-25 win over Howard. This game will be interesting for a number of reasons. It will be the first Big Ten football game ever for the Knights, the first Big Ten East game for both teams, and the first Big Ten game of the 2014 season. Not to mention the bragging rights up for grabs and that the two teams will be constant recruiting rivals for talent in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Kickoff time is set for 8 p.m.

The good, bad and the ugly UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State’s 21-3 business-like win over Akron was not the most thrilling home opener Happy Valley has ever seen. But as they say, a win is a win — and Nittany Nation will take it. The Nittany Lions are 2-0 as they head to New Jersey to take on Rutgers in its first-ever Big Ten tilt. The Scarlet Knights will be pumped for this one. The 8 p.m. start time gives the fans more time to get wound up for the Big Ten primetime game. But before we look ahead to game three, let’s take a final look back at game two in this week’s installment of the good, the bad and the ugly. n The Good — Christian Hackenberg. While the sophomore signal caller was not flawless, he had a pretty solid outing. He completed 22 of 36 passes for 319 yards and three scores. While he did try to force a couple of balls that were intercepted, we can’t fault him for

that. The kid is simply trying to make a play. He’s young and he’ll learn when to throw it away. n The Bad — Run blocking. Once again, the Nittany Lions’ offensive line struggled to open holes for the likes of Bill Belton, Zach Zwinak and Akeel Lynch. The run blocking has to improve so the Nittany Lions do not become one dimensional. Despite the poor blocking, Lynch was able to rack up 45 yards on the ground. n The Ugly — It’s hard to find much to complain about following a win, but we’ll say the first half of the ballgame was the ugly. We expected the Nits to come out and run roughshod over the Zips. Quite the contrary. Akron put together a very nice opening drive. Had it not been for a shanked field goal attempt, this game might have had a different outcome. Killer instinct will be vital as the opponents get tougher. — Chris Morelli

TIM WEIGHT/For the Gazette

PENN STATE’S Jesse James (18) heads for the end zone during the home opener with Akron. The Nittany Lions won, 21-3. hauled in a 41-yard pass from Matt McGloin on fourth and 6 that James simply walked in. The score would give Penn State a 20-14 lead early in the fourth quarter of the final game of the season. Penn State would go on to beat Wisconsin in overtime, largely thanks to James’ reception. In 2013, James would extend his south end zone dominance with a 46-yard touchdown reception against Nebraska on the first play of the fourth quarter. Penn State would lose that game in overtime, but James’ catch and run would prove to be enough to get the game into overtime in the first place. It was a tiptoeing sprint down the sideline for 6. Now, in 2014, James has added yet another stop on his southeastern travelogue. A 44-yard toss to a wide-open James would give Penn State a 21-3 lead and put Saturday’s Akron game finally out of reach. Yet again, he walked into the southwest corner of the end zone nearly untouched. The touchdown was also James’ second of the day, the first multi-score game for the junior in his career. Mention his growing list of important touchdowns on that side of the field and James just smiles. He has never been one to sing his own praises, but he clearly enjoys seeing that sideline just to the left of his feet. James should continue to thrive the rest of the season. Christian Hackenberg will need all the help he can get as the team enters Big Ten play. James’ 6-foot-7, 254-pound frame provides the sophomore gunslinger with a fairly large target to aim

at. As James himself so elegantly stated, he can take the hits. Like Hackenberg, though, James continues to improve as a player. He is out on the wings blocking on screen plays. He stays inside to block on the running downs and grabs catches in traffic for important third down conversions. Even to consider asking a player about his NFL future this early in the season is a pointless endeavor, but one has to imagine James will weigh his options by the time this season is all said and done. “It’s a big difference. I’m a much more well-balanced player,” James said reflecting on the Jesse James who made that catch against Wisconsin and the Jesse James he is today. “I do a lot of things. I feel that I’m a lot smarter and see things coming quicker from the defense, and it’s easier to read it, and I’m just growing as a player.” And as far as the guy throwing him passes this season? Hackenberg knows the kind of talent he has on the other end of the play. “He’s a very smart football player. He understands the game extremely well,’’ Hackenberg said. “His football knowledge is through the roof. He’s one of the those guys that you know you’re on the same page with. You know that Jesse is going to be at the right spot at the right time, and that’s huge for us.’’ Judging by his ever-expanding list of second-half touchdowns, James is picking all the right times to be in the right place, too.

One and Done

Mounties have one great quarter, but it’s not enough against BEA By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH sports@centrecountygazette.com

PHILIPSBURG — One outstanding quarter of play by Philipsburg-Osceola was not enough to keep up with Bald Eagle Area during their Sept. 5 meeting. The Mounties put it all together — running, passing and defense — in the second quarter to rally from a 21-point deficit and close to within four by halftime. But the rest of the night belonged to the Eagles. BEA ran off three quick scores to begin the game, watched P-O fight back, and then used its size and depth to pull away in the second half for a 42-17 victory. Running back Mitchell Struble ran 19 times for 136 yards and a score and Hunter Hockenberry added 123 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Eagle running game, while quarterback Jason Jones completed nine of 17 passes for 128 yards and two more touchdowns. In all, BEA outgained the Mounties 468 to 234. “We just weren’t making plays in that second quarter,” Eagle coach Ron Hoover said. “I mean they (P-O) did a nice job. Down 21-0 and come back with 17 points, and we were sputtering. “I told the (P-O) coaches to give their kids all the credit in the world. Your guys turned the game around in the second quarter. We were a little lost right there. “We had to make adjustments at halftime, and most importantly, we had to change the field po-

In the second quarter, an Aaron Boumerhi 40-yard field goal, a 7-yard Jake Anderson-toTanner Lamb touchdown pass, and a 13-yard Kyle Hawkins run

dissipated the Eagle’s lead to just 21-17 going into the locker rooms for halftime. Then the Eagles came out with a new look in the third quarter.

Little Lions fall to powerhouse Bishop McDevitt By CLAYTON SAUERTIEG

correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Nick Marsilio found the end zone twice through the air and the Crusaders added three more on the ground as Bishop McDevitt cruised to a 34-14 victory over State College on Sept. 5 at Memorial Field. The Crusaders did not have the services of Penn State-commit Andre Robinson at running back. Robinson missed the game with what has been diagnosed as a deep bone bruise that could see him sidelined for up to a month. When the Crusaders failed to score on their first possession and subsequently went down 7-0 in the first quarter, it looked as if Robinson’s absence would be costly. All-everything running back Jordan Misher led the Little Lions 73 yards before a quarterback sneak from senior John Weakland gave them the lead early in the first. But from then on it was business as usual for Marsilio and his favorite target, junior receiver Kobay White. White and Marsilio hooked up for two touchdown passes in the first half and a 1-yard dive

from running back Que’Shawn Jenkins made it 20-7 heading into the intermission. The Little Lions answered with a touchdown drive late in the third quarter to bring the score to 20-14. But, they were immediately pegged back as White and Marsilio hooked up again to move the Crusaders deep into State College territory before Jenkins his second touchdown of the night, this one coming from 18 yards out. A late score from McDevitt pushed the lead to 20, where it would finish, 34-14. Misher and linebacker Nathan King lead the way for the Little Lions. King had a sack and interception in the first quarter that were key to giving State High the early lead. “Our kids kept playing, they didn’t give up, they kept fighting every play and I’m proud of them for the effort,” said State High first-year head coach Matt Lintal. McDevitt improved their record to 2-0 on the season while State College fell to 1-1. The Crusaders return home for a Friday, Sept. 12, meeting with the always tough Cumberland Valley Eagles while the Little Lions head to West Virginia to face traditional powerhouse Martinsburg.

tion to find Cole Robinson wide open down the right sideline for a 42-yard catch-and-run touchdown. The play capped a 10-play, 80yard drive and gave BEA a more comfortable 27-17 lead. “Cole (Robinson) did a great job getting open,” Jones said. “The line did a great job, Mitchell (Struble) had a nice fake. I mean,

I did the littlest job on the field, and everyone else did their work to make that happen.” BEA almost immediately followed with another game-changing play. Three plays into the Mounties’ subsequent possession, Elliot Peters stepped in front of an Anderson pass, intercepted it and returned it all the way to the P-O 18-yard line. Three plays later, Jones took it in from the 1, and BEA had a 35-17 lead. “We tried to take away some personnel groupings,” Hoover said. “Sometimes we’d be out on a wide out and sometimes in. We tried to change it because in the first half, we were pretty stagnant there. “You know, catch and tackle, catch and tackle, but they were catching and running. So we got some more jams on the line of scrimmage and tried to close the gate a little bit.” Peter’s interception seemed to shake the Mounties. They fumbled on their next possession, and then only gained 25 yards the rest of the night and didn’t cross into BEA territory. Struble finished the scoring in the game with a 23-yard touchdown run that capped a nine-play, 92-yard drive for the Eagles. “Our guys are big and physical,” Struble said. “I love playing with these guys, and we came together and pulled off a big ‘W.’ “We did a heck of a job tonight.”

Red Raiders lose a tough one to Bearcats, 28-20 By CHRIS MORELLI editor@centrecountygazette.com

HUNTINGDON — In football, one play can often change a game. On Friday, Sept. 5, in Huntingdon, the Bellefonte Area High School football team learned that lesson the hard way. Down 10-7 with under a minute to play in the first half, the Red Raiders were driving. However, junior quarterback Mark Armstrong tossed an ill-advised pass that was easily intercepted by defensive back Hudson Speck, who went 82 yards for a touchdown to make it 16-7 at the intermission. Instead of being up by four points, the Red Raiders (0-2) found themselves down by nine. In the end, the Red Raiders fell to the Bearcats, 28-20, at War Vets Memorial Field. The pick six was a momentum killer for the Raiders. Quite simply, the ballgame turned on that one play. “That was huge,” said Huntingdon head coach Mike Hudy. “Right now, we’ll take any points we can get. It was a huge turnaround, a morale booster. Anytime you get a defensive score, it’s icing.” For the Red Raiders, the beat goes on. Head coach Shanon Manning is still searching for his first win as head coach. Bellefonte is 0-12 during his tenure. Manning refused to say that one play decided the game and he did see some bright spots from his squad. “These kids don’t quit,” Manning said. “They work so hard. I wish I could just hand them a ‘W,’ but you can’t.” There were plenty of bright spots for the Red Raiders. The ground game is clicking. Running back

Austin Jackson racked up 137 yards and Dillon Kephart had 107. Jackson also had a 75-yard kickoff return that got the Red Raiders within eight late in the game. But turnovers — the aforementioned Armstrong pick and a fumble by Nick Jabco — proved to be backbreakers for the Red Raiders. The turnovers and a couple of splash plays by the Bearcats were the difference in this one. “That’s what it gets down to,” Manning said. “Sometimes you feel like you were beaten, and sometimes you feel like you handed it away.” Huntingdon (1-1) did what it had to do to win the game. The Bearcats had 350 yards on the ground. Jon Wagner led the way with 181 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns. Among his highlights was a 73-yard touchdown run. Bellefonte found itself in an early 10-0 hole before embarking on a 13play, 72-yard drive. Kephart scored from 2 yards out to make it 10-7. It stayed that way until the Armstrong pick just before half. In the second half, the Bearcats took a 22-7 lead. However, Bellefonte answered with an 80-yard touchdown run from Jackson to make it 22-14. But with just 7:08 remaining in the game, Huntingdon’s Jordan Oliver hit paydirt from a yard out to stretch the Bearcat lead to 28-14. Jackson’s kickoff return for a score made it a one-touchdown game again. Huntingdon drained much of the clock and left the Red Raiders with very little time at the end of the ballgame, as Bellefonte went home with another defeat. Bellefonte will open its home slate on Friday, Sept. 12, against winless Philipsburg-Osceola.

Week 3: Mounties, Red Raiders ready to battle By PAT ROTHDEUTSCH

sports@centrecountygazette.com

Something has got to give. As we enter Week 3 of the high school football season, Philipsburg-Osceola and Bellefonte are still searching for their first wins. This week, they meet. The Red Raiders came oh-so-close last week, before falling to Huntingdon, 28-20. The Mounties hung in against Bald Eagle Area before the Eagles took care of business in the second half. A closer look at this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games:

PHILIPSBURG-OSCEOLA (0-2) AT BELLEFONTE (0-2)

Both Philipsburg-Osceola and Bellefonte are improved football teams over last year, but again they both come into this game winless. Last season, the Mounties prevailed, but the win proved to be their only one of the season, while Bellefonte wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to get a win at all. So, again, something has to give. P-O lost its first two games to West Branch, 30-28, in Week 1, and then faded

in the second half in a 42-17 loss to BEA in Week 2. The Mounties, however, have shown that they can move the ball and put points on the board. They have put up a combined total of 630 yards of offense in those two games, with 469 yards coming through the passing game. Jake Anderson has emerged as the starting quarterback for P-O. Against BEA, Anderson completed 14 of 39 passes for 134 yards and a touchdown in a game that saw the Mounties rally from a 21-0 deficit with 17 unanswered points in the second quarter. Anderson has two quality receivers in Tanner Lamb and Caleb Belinda, and a solid running back in Ty Laird. BEA was able to exploit Philipsburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of depth and size up front by lining up and running straight at the Mounties. In two games, P-O has given up 729 yards on the ground. That statistic would seem to favor Bellefonte. The Raiders ran up 320 yards rushing against Huntingdon in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close 28-20 loss. Austin Jackson ran for 137 yards in that

game, while Dillon Kephart added 107 and quarterback Nick Jabco had 70. Jackson scored a touchdown on a short run and a 75-yard kick return, and Kephart scored Bellefonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other touchdown. The Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; problem has been turnovers. They had two big ones against Huntingdon that ruined promising scoring chances, and it will be imperative for them to hold onto the ball against P-O. In a game of contrasting styles, look for lots of points, with the winner being the team that makes the fewest mistakes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the home opener for Bellefonte. Kickoff at Rogers Stadium is set for 7 p.m.

STATE COLLEGE (1-1) AT MARTINSBURG, W.VA. (2-0)

As if playing one of the best teams in Pennsylvania in Harrisburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bishop McDevitt wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, State College travels to Martinsburg on Friday, Sept. 12, to play one of the best teams in West Virginia. The Bulldogs have won the last four West Virginia state championships and are coming off a 13-1 season. Week 3, Page 21

Week 3, from page 20 Martinsburg is a team that likes to run the ball and it has the bodies to do it. Senior Trey Boyd, who gained 1,300 yards last season playing for Island Coast High School in Florida, moved back to West Virginia this year and will rejoin the Bulldog backfield. He will team with 2013 All-Conference picks Eric Brown and Deamonte Lindsay to form a potent running game. Martinsburg is presently ranked No. 1 in West Virginia, and the Bulldogs have already beaten Woodson, 24-7, and Sherando, 26-0. After a first week win over Spring Ford, State College fell to the balanced attack of McDevitt last week at Memorial Field. McDevitt built a 20-7 halftime lead over the Little Lions that Jordan Misher cut to 20-14 with a 9-yard, third-quarter run. McDevitt answered, however, with two more scores and pulled away from State College for a 34-14 win. Misher, who ran for 134 yards against McDevitt, is the offensive leader for State High, while John Weakland handles the quarterback chores. Last year, State College was solidly in the game against Martinsburg, losing late by a score of 35-29. Look for the

PENNS VALLEY (0-2) AT BEA (1-1)

After being knocked back on its heels against Moshannon Valley in Week 1, BEA came back last Friday to overwhelm Philipsburg-Osceola, 42-17, and break into the win column. BEA took an early 21-point lead over the Mounties, only to see that lead shrink to just four points by halftime. But the Eagles came out in power formations in the second half and wore down the out-numbered Mounties. BEA ran for 333 yards in the game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; led by Mitchell Strubleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 136 yards and Hunter Hockenberryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 123. Jason Jones completed nine passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns, mostly throwing to Cody Scholl and Dan Hockenberry. This week BEA will line up against local rival Penns Valley. The Rams are 0-2 after losses to Juniata and Clearfield. The Rams failed to capitalize on their chances against Juniata in Week 1, but last week Clearfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense held

Penn State will have a bye week before both the Michigan and Ohio State games which are back to back. As a result Penn State will only play twice in the month of October. The remaining Penn State kick times and TV information will occur within the Big Tenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six- or 12-day selection process. Penn State and UMass will be meeting for the first time.

ELKS HOLDS CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT

“It was a picture-perfect day for golf,” said Bob Kidder, a member of the Elks charity event. “Sunny skies, low humidity, ideal course conditions at Mountain View Country Club, all blended together for golfers and volunteers who participated in the 25th annual State College Elks Charity Golf Tournament. To say the least, the event was a huge success and the funds raised will go a long way toward the betterment of our charities.”

First net winners were Jeanie Andrews, Jeanne Fudrow, George McMurtry and Gary McManus, while second net winners were Jeff Kephart, Jack McKinley, Lee Morris and Ryan Fultz. First gross went to Dan Swanson, Mike Braniff, Scott Braniff and Justin Ondik. Second gross went to Dean Johnson, Lanny Johnson, Dick Rider and Mike Smith, and third gross went to Dave Immel, Dan Stover, Rick Brooks and Jeff Weyman. “The State College Elks Charity Golf Committee chairman, Dave Will, and lodge officer in charge, Brenda Kephart, extend their thanks to all who made this an outstanding community-oriented event once again this year,” said Kidder. “Next year’s tournament will take place on Sunday, Sept. 15, 2015, so please mark your calendars.”

PSU adds Army to 2015 schedule By BEN JONES StateCollege.com

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State’s 2015 football schedule is now complete. Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour announced Sept. 3 that Army will visit Beaver Stadium next season on Saturday, Oct. 3. The Nittany Lions and the Black Knights play for the first time since 1979 and the 26th time overall. The addition of the Army game completes Penn State’s schedules for

2015 through 2017. In the more long-term view, the Nittany Lions have one nonconference opponent to schedule to complete the 2018 slate. Penn State will play nine Big Ten Conference games annually starting in 2016 and have three non-conference contests. Penn State has a 13-10-2 all-time record against Army. At the squads’ last meeting in 1979 Penn State posted a 24-3 victory. The first time the teams met was in 1899, when the Nittany Lions earned a 6-0 win.

Pennsylvania product Nolf ‘expects a lot of himself’ By ANDY ELDER

State coach Cael Sanderson said. “Just watching him work out last spring, we just knew he was a guy we had to have. He loves wrestling. He’s very confident. He’s not afraid to make mistakes in practice and keep on moving. Nothing really fazes him. He holds himself to a very high standard. He expects a lot of himself.” His lone high school loss came in the 2012 PIAA semifinals. He was edged, 6-4, by Ryan Diehl, of Trinity, in District 3, the eventual champion. Sanderson said right now Nolf is a 149-pounder, but the coach expects him to wrestle at 157 as a redshirt freshman. “He’s very good on the mat. He’s very good on top. He won a lot of close matches early in his career where he would just fig-

For the Gazette

UNIVERSITY PARK — Jason Nolf, of Kittanning, left the 2014 PIAA Class AA Wrestling Championships feeling unfulfilled. Sure, he had pinned three of four opponents in the second period or sooner, including his finals opponent in 1:42. The 16-4 quarterfinal win, however, prevented him from his goal of pinning his way to his third PIAA championship. Imagine how the “1” in his 176-1 record must make him feel. “He’s very driven. I think he’s one of the top-rated recruits, on rankings alone, but I think he’s one of the most underrated guys in the class, too, and that says a lot,” Penn

“He wrestles as hard in practice as anyone we’ve had coming out of high school,” he said. “He’s just go, go, go. I wouldn’t say he’s exactly like a (Ed) Ruth or (David) Taylor or (Frank) Molinaro, or Coach (Nick) Fanthorpe, who is a guy who goes for hours and hours and not be fazed. He’s one of those kinds of guys like a Zain (Retherford), in a way. Zain can train all day. Zain’s strong as a bull. I don’t think he (Nolf) has that kind of strength. He’s a little longer. He’s going to be fun. He’s one of those guys … I’m glad he’s coming to Penn State.”

ure out how to ride guys. He’s very good on the mat,” he said. “I go watch him practice and he never goes out. They’re rotating, and he just stays in the whole time. He gives up takedowns because he’s got fresh guys coming in, but the coach isn’t telling him to do that. The kid loves to wrestle, loves to compete, loves to train. He doesn’t have the freestyle background. He’s only wrestled a few freestyle matches in his career I believe. A lot of that has to do with why I say he’s underrated. He’s a guy, too, that with that mentality, he’s going to skyrocket.” Much like the rest of Penn State’s talented roster, Sanderson said Nolf doesn’t shy away from hard work or challenging workouts.

Local author inspires wonder with new novel By MICHAEL MARTIN GARRETT correspondent@centrecountygazette.com

STATE COLLEGE — Children’s author and State College native Martha Freeman says we underestimate our children. Children can be brave, resolute, noble and creative — even in the face of tragedy. While much of Freeman’s output, such as her two children’s mystery series, relies heavily on charm and slapstick-style humor, her new book, “The Orphan and the Mouse,” represents a change for the author. There’s little in the way of slapstick, and while the book does have a sense of humor and some lovely illustrations by David McPhail, they don’t carry the surprisingly mature story. Set in an orphanage in late 1940s Philadelphia — the city which Freeman recently moved to from State College — the novel directly addresses such issues as political corruption, miscarriage and the death of parents. “If you think about quoteunquote ‘children’s classics,’ you see that English and American books for kids often do deal with very dark subjects for children,” Freeman said. The main character of “The Secret Garden” must learn to live after the death of her family, while “Treasure Island” prominently features drunkenness and murder. Even a lighthearted romp like “James and the Giant Peach” involves the death of James’ parents by rhino. By putting these challenges into children’s literature, Free-

man says it helps children realize fear and struggle are a natural part of life — but so is courage and strength in the face of tragedy. At one point, the reader learns about the life of an orphan named Jimmy, whose parents died in a car crash when he was young. He realizes later that he’d

lived through the worst thing that can happen to a child, and finds the strength in himself and his friends at the orphanage to find joy in his new life. After all, the children in this novel “knew bad things happened in this world,” the narrator informs the reader. “Some of the children had suffered very bad things themselves, or seen other children suffer, and they talked about it. How could they not?” “Children’s lives are not all smiles and wonderful experi-

ences; they have setbacks and struggles they have to contend with,” said Mary Cash, the editor of the novel. “I think they need a kind of literature that recognizes that, because when they see their characters overcome difficulties it gives them hope, inspiration and courage.” So when Mary — the titular mouse in Freeman’s novel — embarks on an adventure to expose the dark secrets of the orphanage where her clan of mice once lived, she is carrying on a grand tradition of children’s literature: one the reveals great truths about the world around her. Mary is an art thief, one who risks her own life to venture into the human realms and steal postage stamps. Unaware of their mundane purpose, the mice of Mary’s colony have come to value these stamps as fine art. They represent both class and social standing, but — more importantly — they serve as windows into a world they don’t understand. “Here in our actual lives, we mice can only ever see so much,” Mary explains to another mouse at one point. “But pictures enlarge the view, reveal the possibility of worlds we never suspected. Even the pictures that aren’t beautiful make us curious, they make us wonder.” This sense of wonder doesn’t apply only to art, Mary explains to the reader and the other mouse. When the other main character — a brave, headstrong young orphan named Carolyn — helps Mary escape from the orphanage’s cat, she looks at the

CHILDREN’S AUTHOR Martha Freeman, a former Centre County resident, has released a new book entitled “The Orphan and the Mouse.” mouse and wonders what her life is like. This sense of wonder is not only the power behind art. It is the basis for empathy. “In some way, this book is a plea for peace and understanding,” Freeman said. “Maybe if the Israelis and Palestinians could look at art together, they could understand each other’s stories. I hope art has this power.” Despite all the valuable lessons in “The Orphan and the Mouse” (including a section in which mice learn the value of being able to read), the novel never feels like it’s preaching to the reader.

Alumna’s first book shares story of lost U.S. warship UNIVERSITY PARK — A Penn State alumna’s first book, “American Boys: The True Story of the Lost 74,” was released this summer, quickly jumping into a list of the top 100 best-selling books online and, coincidentally, making an unintentional Penn State connection to a somewhat unknown story related to the Vietnam War. “American Boys” shares the true story of the USS Frank E. Evans, the only U.S. warship lost in the Vietnam War, and the ongoing effort to memorialize the 74 men killed in the tragedy that was the Navy’s second largest loss of life during that war. Author Louise (Cannon) Esola earned her journalism degree from Penn State in 2000. The 452-page book has earned ample critical acclaim. Tony Perry, of The Los Angeles Times, called it a “classic story of men and war.” It’s also a story that’s been told with success by two Penn Staters in recent months. Alumna Anna Orso, who earned her journalism degree in May, focused on part of the story of the USS Frank E. Evans when she met family members of the deceased servicemen in Washington, D.C. Orso was completing an on-the-spot news assignment as part of the William Randolph Hearst Foundation’s Journalism Awards Program individual national championships. The story was part of a portfolio that helped Orso win the championship — and lead Penn State to its third consecutive overall championship.

LOUISE ESOLA’S first book focuses on the only U.S. warship lost during the Vietnam War. While working on the piece, Orso interviewed Esola and they discovered their connection. Orso works for PA Media Group in Harrisburg, Pa. Esola’s work has been featured in numerous publications, including UT San Diego, The Philadelphia Inquirer and the Associated Press. A Philadelphia native, she lives in southern California with her husband and children.

Palmer Museum of Art to present ‘Paper Views’ UNIVERSITY PARK — The Palmer Museum of Art continues its popular series of one-day exhibitions highlighting works on paper from the museum’s permanent collection. They will be on display the first Friday of each month this semester in the Drs. Albert and Lorraine Kligman Print and Drawing Study Room and open during regular museum hours. On Friday, Oct. 3, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., “Creative and Scientific Photography: Double-Edged Sword,” curated by David Teplica, will be presented. A conversation with Teplica, a medical doctor with a master’s degree in fine arts, will follow at 1 p.m. “Memories and Resonances: A Few of Our Favorite Things” will be shown on Friday, Nov. 7, from 10 a.m. to

4:30 p.m. It will be curated by Penn State graduates Christine and Benson Lichtig, who will hold a conversation at 1 p.m. The exhibit for Friday, Dec. 5, also being shown from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., is “Fascinatin’ Rhythm: American Modernism.” The 1 p.m. conversation will be with curator Robin Veder, associate professor of humanities and art history/visual culture at Penn State Harrisburg and resident scholar at the Institute for the Arts and Humanities. The Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State is located on Curtin Road and admission is free. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays, and noon to 4 p.m. on Sundays. The museum is closed Mondays and some holidays.

After all, not every children’s story needs to be an Aesop’s Fable, Freeman said. “I think I’d be happy if a child comes away from the book thinking there might be mice in the walls and wondering what their lives are like,” Freeman said. “If a kid took any element of this book and it invoked some creativity, I did something right.” With prose that reads with a simple beauty and an imaginative cast of characters, Freeman has indeed done something right. She’s created an honest, compelling story that — much like a postage stamp — has the power to make the audience wonder.

Palmer Museum of Art to present fall readings UNIVERSITY PARK — The Palmer Museum of Art will host Penn State poets and other literary friends for poetry readings this semester in the galleries. Julia Spicher Kasdorf, profesJULIA SPICHER KATHERINE sor of English KASDORF BODE-LANG and women’s studies, will present “Shale Play” at 12:10 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 1. Spicher Kasdorf will read from the book-length collection of poems that document the linguistic, emotional and environmental effects of Marcellus Shale fracking in southwestern Pennsylvania. Poet Katherine Bode-Lang will present “The Reformation” at 12:10 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 5. Bode-Lang will read from her chapbook, winner of the 2014 American Poetry Review/Honickman First Book Prize.

School of Music to launch monthly radio program UNIVERSITY PARK — In partnership with WPSU-FM, the Penn State School of Music has announced that its performances will be featured in a monthly one-hour radio program, “In Performance at Penn State.” Using a similar format to the popular “Performance Today” produced by American Public Media, each onehour show will include a potpourri of solo, chamber music and ensemble performances by Penn State faculty and students. WPSU’s Kristine Allen will serve as producer, programmer and host for the monthly feature, airing locally at 91.5 the last Friday of each month at 11 a.m. It will be repeated the following Monday night at 8 p.m. Each program will be streamed live on WPSU’s website at www.wpsu.org and then archived for on-demand listening following the initial airing.

Developer seeks to expand business district By JENNIFER MILLER StateCollege.com

STATE COLLEGE — A developer and architect who want some fairly dramatic changes to current zoning rules have taken their campaign another step forward. They’re pushing for ordinance amendments that would to allow an expansion of the downtown State College commercial area. That’s intended to increase retail space and professional housing along College Avenue. On Sept. 3, for the second time in two months, the State College Planning Commission listened to details of a proposal from Jeff Haas, owner of 538 E. College Ave., the site of Kildare’s, and Alan Schlossberg, of architectural firm Perkins Eastman. Haas and Schlossberg have proposed ordinance amendments to create what would be known as the Collegiate Housing Overlay, which would alter restrictions on building height and the number of parking spaces. Haas and Schlossberg said the changes would help ensure completion of the borough’s long-term downtown master plan, which includes redeveloping College Avenue from Garner Street to University Drive. “We’re trying to move this particular district of the downtown from a fairly low value for the development community and borough to a more modest- or high-performing value for both perspectives,” said Schlossberg. The Collegiate Housing Overlay draft proposal would allow unique requirements for apartment building sites with ground floor retail space, including building façade guidelines and developer incentives.

For example, in exchange for a site that includes underground parking, an emphasis on professional and graduate housing, increased sidewalk space on College Avenue, or a certified environmentally friendly structure, developers could be rewarded with an increase in building height, an increase in overall square footage, and/or a reduction in the required number of parking spaces. Under the proposal, building height would move from 65 feet to 97 feet as a base maximum, with the opportunity to build up to 155 feet, or 13 stories, if the developer incorporates some of those incentives. The more professional housing the developer includes, the higher the developer could make the building. The proposal also adjusts the Floor Area Ratio requirements, or FAR, which is a ratio of the total floor area of a building divided by the total area of the lot where the building will be located. For example, Schlossberg says on a 1,000-square-foot lot, a FAR 5 would mean a developer could design a building with a maximum of 5,000 square feet. Under the proposal, developers can increase FAR in exchange for incentives, such as wider sidewalks or more units designated as professional housing. In terms of parking, generally the borough requires one space per 800 square feet in a commercial district. Under the proposal, the base requirement would be one-and-a-half spaces per professional unit and a minimum of one space per three student beds, with additional alterations in exchange for incentives. Even with incentives, the proposal allows no less than one space per professional unit and no less than one space for every four student beds. In July, Schlossberg said the targeted

The district also features apartment buildings with adjacent parking lots and little commercial activity. He said improving sidewalks, crosswalks and intersections and adding more commercial opportunities in the district could expand State College’s downtown pedestrian-friendly experience. By making adjustments to height and parking restrictions, Haas and Schlossberg said developers could create buildings featuring first-floor retail space, a few levels

of parking and then several levels of residential space, which would eliminate the need for exterior surface parking lots and maintain levels of revenue through more rental units. The meeting was informational and gave planning commission members another opportunity to ask Haas and Schlossberg questions about the proposal. “I like the idea. I think we just need to think about the numbers,” said chairman Mike Roeckel. The planning commission and the borough’s planning staff intend to further review the proposal.

OrderUp plans to expand SBDC aims to help would-be business owners food delivery in State College

UNIVERSITY PARK — Have you ever dreamed of owning your own business? You’re not alone. Interest in entrepreneurship has been growing recently, especially among students and young professionals. If you already have an idea, the first place to start is Penn State’s Small Business Development Center. The SBDC offers free, confidential consulting on everything from idea feasibility to market analysis and drafting of business plans. “We help entrepreneurs think about what questions to ask so they can get the answers they need to succeed,” said Linda Feltman, SBDC senior business consultant of student entrepreneurship. The SBDC offers a host of other resources for students, including instructional seminars and community connections. Consulting appointments can be made online or by attending drop-in hours at Kunkle Lounge from 4 to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Even if you don’t have a startup idea yet, there are still many ways for students to join the entrepreneurship community. The university launched the entrepreneurship and innovation minor last year, which consists of core business and other specialized classes with an entrepreneurial focus. Additionally, each of the following organizations collaborates with the SBDC, providing members with invaluable realworld experience and networking opportunities: n Nittany Consulting Group, a student extension of the SBDC, works with clients at Kunkle Lounge and other SBDC clients as assigned. n Happy Valley Communications is a student-run communications firm that works with startup, local and national businesses. n Information Sciences and Technology Consulting Group partners with HVC to

provide a wide range of tech support, from setting up wireless Internet to developing mobile applications and websites. n Nittany Entrepreneurs is a chapter of the USA Chamber Society. They seek to pair local businesses looking for interns with students looking for experience. n Innoblue has an active and interdisciplinary club membership and features many great educational workshops, inspirational guest speakers, team-building exercises, brainstorming sessions and more. They will once again be spearheading “1000 Pitches” this fall. n Professional Management Association allows members to network with professionals while developing leadership and managerial skills. They perform community service, hear lectures from corporate guest speakers and have several networking mixers and instructional workshops throughout the year. n Ad Club is a chapter of the American Advertising Federation. The Donald W. Davis Penn State chapter provides opportunities to meet and interact with advertising professionals, all while allowing students to gain skills for internships and job placements. n New Leaf Initiative is a home to mission-driven entrepreneurs in downtown State College. The shared space allows entrepreneurs to connect ideas with resources in the community. Each of these organizations also aids the SBDC in running Penn State’s Global Entrepreneurship Week each November. GEW, scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 16, through Thursday, Nov. 20, is a series of events directed at students and community members interested in entrepreneurship. Currently, GEW occurs in 140 different countries and Penn State’s 2013 program ranked second in the nation for overall attendance and number of events. To get started on your business idea, contact the SBDC at (814) 863-4293

STATE COLLEGE — OrderUp State College recently launched a service to provide delivery drivers and technology to restaurants, giving customers more options. OrderUp State College is a location of OrderUp, which Penn State students started as LionMenus in 2002. OrderUp recently raised $7 million in Series A funding, with Revolution Ventures leading the round, and participation from Tim O’Shaughnessy, co-founder of LivingSocial. This new investment will fund the continued development of OrderUp’s delivery technology and services nationwide and in State College. While OrderUp State College will continue to provide online and mobile ordering for restaurants with their own existing delivery services, restaurants that don’t have their own delivery services can use OrderUp’s services and technology, from logistics to partnerships with drivers. With OrderUp delivery, restaurants can deliver food to their customers without hiring and managing drivers or creating a delivery infrastructure. That means customers will continue to have access to restaurants who have their own delivery system, but also have new access to restaurants that have never delivered. For Penn State students, especially freshmen who may not have cars on campus, “we can deliver them food that they would normally have to catch the bus to get or have a friend drive them. Now they can get it in the comfort of their dorm,”

said Casey Macioge, general manager of OrderUp State College. “We’re bringing on new local restaurants every day, and we’re in talks with popular national chains and hope to bring more on soon,” said Macioge. “For restaurant owners, this service can minimize the overhead that comes along with delivery: owning a vehicle, paying drivers and their insurance. “Already, locals can order from popular restaurants such as Kaarma, Mad Mex, Famous Ernie’s Steaks, Happy Valley Brewing Company and American Ale House. Customers like getting delivery from places that haven’t delivered before, and restaurants like offloading the logistics to us,” said Macioge. In addition to fueling growth in State College, OrderUp’s new funds will allow the company to continue its aggressive expansion into underserved American towns: those metropolitan areas outside the top 10 cities. State College locals and students will be able to use OrderUp while traveling. “OrderUp started in State College, and we’re excited that as we grow nationally, we can continue to improve what we offer here,” said Chris Jeffery, Penn State alum and CEO of OrderUp. For OrderUp, the new capital makes longtime plans possible, according to Jeffery. “We’ve got a great team already, and now we’re going to be building new technology and services at a much faster rate.”
